A Healthy Chocolate “Milkshake”

If you have ever wandered over to my Desserts Page, you have probably deduced that this feeling hits me sort of often. And I act on it.

But here’s the thing. I also like my clothes to fit. And despite my undying love for butter and sugar and chocolate, I am aware they are not healthy to eat in large quantities.

So sometimes I go in search of a healthy dessert option. But, for me, if it doesn’t taste good, it’s not worth eating.

One night recently I could not get a chocolate milkshake out of my head. But I had no ice cream in the house. So I found a recipe online for a chocolate milkshake that had no ice cream. And it was pretty good. But not really healthy.

So I tinkered over the next week and have landed on this recipe that hits all the right marks:

It is dairy free

It could easily be adapted to be vegan (sub maple syrup or agave for the honey)

It is creamy and delicious

It tastes an awful lot like a real chocolate milkshake

It is comprised solely of good-for-you ingredients

Did I mention it’s delicious?

Let me tell you, it has been rough taste testing all these chocolate milkshake prototypes. But for you guys, hey, I will suffer to bring you great recipes.
